Monday was a fantastic day on the Plaice, great crowd of lads on board boating over 70 Plaice guided by Ray the skipper who ive fished with on numerous occasions without ever having a disappointing trip, whether its Plaice,Bream,Turbot,Cod or Pollock Ray always puts you on the fish, he works very hard to find the fish with his vast knowledge of areas and tides,Ray is without doubt my personal favourite skipper, i always look forward to fishing with Ray on the fantastic Grey Viking knowing im going to have a great day with one of the very best Skippers

Fantastic day out with Ray as usual! Been out on the Viking a few times now and always have a ball, last trip was no different with over 200 cod boated, many released to chase a rubber worm another day. Highly recommended

Skippers Reponse: What a day Dean! Well over 200 cod caught and load put back which is lovely to see. Always a pleasure to have you aboard mate!

Ray had a cunning non conventional plan and we stuck with it. Result 55 cod, 15 pollack, 1 gurnard, 8 very happy anglers.

Skippers Reponse: Cheers Chris, thats two great trips for you recently, always a pleasure to have you aboard mate!

im not sure what all the fuss is about here to balance things out a little id like to give my opinion and experiance i first went out on grey viking 2 out of brighton on 20th jan we fished our self silly and only had 2 whiting and a pout i went home happy id had a days fishing the next day 8 anglers went out and caught 25 cod !! upset me naaaaaaa jealouse naaaaa well a smidge no complaints right place right time top skipper who put the anglers above the fish they did the rest and more than got their moneys worth (lets not forget we pay for the privalige of rod and line fishing on charter boats whilst a flotilla of french belgiun and a couple of english commercial trawlers circle us repeatedly indiscriminatly catching everything in their path )so i rebooked on grey viking 2 on 31 jan we had the day of our life cod pollock pouts and again we were treated to a great day out only this time it was us who posted big fish pics and had the stories to tell friends family and a few green eyed fisherbuddies lol .

Very friendly crew, value for money and a fantastic day out with the skipper doing his utmost to find the fish in difficult conditions

A fantastic day out with a great skipper and crew. The skipper got us right on the fish and I will be recommending him and his boat to all my friends.
